"I wasn't warned." I say absently, still absorbed in my focus. I think I've just about got it, and I glance up at the stranger when he tells me he doesn't think my efforts will be fruitful, my upper lip pulled back in a sardonic snarl.
"We'll see about that."
I turn my focus back to the machine, but I'm aware of him now, standing almost too near me, inappropriately so. Do I know him? Is he in any of my classes? "Hm?"
I do believe he just asked me out to eat with him. Not just to accompany him to the cafeteria inside the dormitory- though I know it exists, I have never been, and anyway, it would be closed at this time of night.
"I would rather have my money back first." I say calmly. "My funds are limited... Ah!" I grin, to myself really, when the machine trills at me, and then the sound of falling coins.
"Success." I whisper, sweeping the returned coins out of the tray at the bottom of the input panel. It's returned two 100 yen coins more than I had initially put in, so I reach up to set those two on top of the machine, intent on returning them once I get the front panel put back together.
